AUSTRALIA.


This has been one Of the hottest
summer seasons ever known in this
southern hemisphere. Twice there has
been threatsned water famine here in
Melbourne, the principal city of Aus
tralia, and last week again the startling
information was published that the
Preston reservoir was dry, and bush
fires we're burning hercely all over the
colony of Victoria, notably around
Mount Macedon, where the summer
residence Of The Governor of the colony
is situated. The sky was filed with a
glare like 'pillar Of fire by night"
and all the time dense smoke filled the
air, and was blown IN over the city of
Melbourne. The thermometer reach
ed Io7 in the shade and $40 in the
sun, and it seemed great deal hotter
even than that. This week, however,
the rains commenced that have late
ly been flooding Queensland, and at
this writing rain is still falling the
fourth day, and will doubtless bring up
the water supply to the usual level and
extingulsh the dreadful and extensive
bush fires.
The great want in Australia is the
want of fresh water. In the mountain
districts there is plentiful supply, but
on the plains and lowlands and the dry
and barren deserts the scarcity and
almost total absence Of water is a seri-
GUS and dangerous drawback.
Neither is this far southern cline what
It is SO often pictured to be, cloud
less sun land Of an equabIe climate.
There is nothing equable about tit is
extremes in every way. For the most
perfect equable climate the writer has
ever experienced you possess it in
your own little mid Pacific isles
To improve if possible the climate
here and preserve and increase the
water supply, the government have at
last taken the wise course of appro-
prlating vast forest tract around the
head OF the waters of the Watts and
Yarra rivers in the Fernshaw noun
tain district, where they have reserved
forever 100000 acres Of mountain
forest, where are claimed to be the high
est though not the largest trees in the
world-they being the eucalyptus, and
reaching height of 400 feet. This is
wise and necessary foresight on the
part OF the government, and not only
secures the watershed of Victoria but
forever reserves to the people of Aus
tralia the most delightful mountain and
forest tract to be found on this island
continent where even in ferns the
island OF Hawaii is rivalIed--the writer
having measured tree ferns in this
same Fernshaw mountain district
which we're thirty.seyen feet high and
an much as twenty inches in diameter.
Railway interests are progressing
very rapidly especially in the colony Of
Victoria, and to them is due the rapid |
advancement and settlement Of the !

NOTES AND COMMENTS.


An Australiln letter to be found in
this issue is inter, sting, not only for its
news but its comparison OF climates,
wherein the Hawaiian is pronounced
superior to any experienced by the
writer. The letter is from Mr.. r. H.
Holmes, Canadian tourist who was
here during the Kings Jubilee, is now
in Melbourne and will leave for Europe
in May From his remarks in this
communication it would seem prob
able that he will talk Hawaii and its
climate up throughout his tour round
the globe.

Congress Adjourns without Ratifying It.
One Of the last reports submitted to
the House before adjournment Of Con-
gress, and upon which no action was
taken, was in support Of resolution
reported by the judiciary committee,
declaring, first, that the President, by
and with the advice of the Senate, can
not negotiate treaty affecting duties
on imports without the sanction of an
act Of Congress and that the extension
of the term Of the original treaty with
Hawaii will not be binding on the
United States without like sanction;
and, secondly, that the President is re-
specially requested to withhold final
action upon the proposed convention
and to condition its final ratification
upon the sanction OF an act Of Con
gress in respect Of duties upon articles
to be imported from the Hawaiian Isl
ands.
The San Francisco "Call's" cores.
pendent says; "This subject will again
be brought up in the Fiftieth Congress.
A new treaty for the extension OF the
present Hawaiian treaty will be nego-
tiated during the summer by the Presi-
dent. If it is simply renewal Of the
present treaty the Senate will ratify it

legislation by the House Of Representa-

Troubles in Tonga.


Advices from Auckland, New Zea-
land, state that the latest advices from
the Tonga or Friendly Islands were to
the effect that che situation had become
very serious; that the King had com
menced the trial Of the men arrested as
Missionary Bakers assailants, and that
three thousand natives had assembled
at the trial.
Advices from the Tonga Islands say
that six natives have been sentenced
to death for assaulting Missionary
Baker, and that the King refused to
grant petition presented by Wesleyan
Missionaries on the islands asking that
mercy be shown the condemned men.

n Art Of War.

The command of a large army tasks
the of the greatest mind. II is
of the highest of human achieve
ments, and by common consent the first
rank Of fame is accorded to the great
generals. To move an army and TO feed
it on the march requires a higher order of
generalship than to fight it. Thirty hours
without supplies would reduce the best
army to a helpless mass of disorganized
humanity. Food for the men, forage for
the animals must not only be provided.
but must be at the precise spot when
wanted. Napoleon. the great master of
the art of war, had a score of marshals,
any one of whom could fight a great
battle, and scarce one of whom could
lead an army on the march. An army
on the march resembles nothing s much
as an enormous serpent, stretched out
mile upon mile. and moving. alert and
watchful, with steady and irresistible
force. Let danger threaten and it hastily
coils itself together and prepares to avert
or overcome the danger. Shrunk to a
fraction of its former dimensions. it
shows its fangs and is ready for attack or
defense. The danger overpast, the great
mass unfolds its coils again and stretches
out its huge proportions in progressive
movement. The brain of this mighty
animal, the supreme mind that controls
its every motion, is the general in chief.

Patrons Of the Turkish Baths.

One would think from the effect which
Turkish baths are generally supposed TO
have that they would be taken chiefly by
stout men, but ii is a remarkable fact
that the greatest number Of bathers are
anything but obese, and that some of
them are ever c~adaverously lean. The
use Of the baths has become very gen.
eral in the past few Years, and they are
now regarded as a necessity rather than
a luxury by a large class of people. Most
Of the patrons are men in perfect health.
though some few are treated for specific
ailments. The shampooers know a rheu-
matte. man rs soon as they lay their
hands on him, and find themselves UNI
usually fatigued after rubbing him, while
the effect Of working on who has q
great deal Of electricity in him Is to re-
fresh them, even after they have done q

Women with Bad Figures.


Mrs. Jenness Miller, wind is trying to
reform woman's dress, is very handsome
and a perfect specimen of the healthful-
ness of the system she advocates. In con-
versation with a reporter the other day
she told some curious facts about the
physical deformity Of her sex, caused by
the corset and other methods that the
Nineteenth century calls fashion. She
said:
~ was in a Turkish bathroom not long
ago and noticed the physical appearance
of some forty or fifty fashionable women
Young, middle aged and old. Out of
that number I did not see a perfect
shaped figure. Those who were young
doubtless inherited their physical de-
ficiencies, and were assisting to further
mai their unnatural proportions by wear
ing corsets. Men do not dream that such
m~alformation exists among the women,
but picture them from the Elusive idea
conveyed by seeing them dressed in the ex-
treme of fashion. Some of these women
had small waists, others had cramped,
pinched feet, and the majority were
suffering from the ~torturing practice Of
tight lacing. None of them moved
around with a free and easy tread and
buoyant elasticity. They were slow and
sluggish in their movements and evil
IDENTIFY averse to any kind of exertion be-
yond the mere necessity of walking. l
was surprised, for | thought that some
women were so strong and robust that
naturally they would escape the curse of
fashions DEGREES. Reclining on a couch
after the bath | heard a young lady next
to me exclaim in conversation TO a third
lady that she would not marry Mr.. So
and-so because he was not robust. Then
in the next sentence she said she suffered
from asthma and was somewhat subject
to hysteria. I turned over and gazed at
the woman who didn't want to marry a
man because he was not apparently
strong. She was pale, thin and delicate
looking. the very woman a man would
not care to select for a wife. unless he
wanted to start a hospital at home

Something Abou. Big Canals.

A British engineer named Boyd. who
has visited the Panama canal. and since his
return has read q paper before the En-
gineers' society at London, reports that
the excavation will go slower in the
future than in the past. He thinks for
the rest of the work 2,2O0. 900, O00f. and
twelve years Of time win be required
that is to say, $40. 900, 900. i'm addition
to what has already been sunk. Long
before that time the Nicaragua canal
ought TO overtake De Lesseps' enterprise,
to say nothing of bankruptcy. Admiral
Ammen, in a pamphlet recently issued,
cites the case of the Caledonia canal of
Scotland. which is 90 miles from sea to
sea, 81 miles by lake and % by canaliza-
ton, and reaches a summit level of 1902
feet. or only 8 feet less than that of the
Nicaragua canal. Yet the owners Of YES
sells are glad to save a short sea voyage
Of only 400 miles by locking over this
height. The cost Of the Caledonia. which
is 100 feet wide and 20 feet deep. was
only $685. 900. The Nicaragua passage
is 40 miles long, "a by river and 50 by
lake, leaving only so for canal. the out
side cost of which is estimated at less than
$50, 900, 900, including railroad and seven
locks.-Scientific journal. '

A Modern California Mining Camp.

The cuts and scars and gullies left by
the early prospector have been long since
filled up, and over them now stands the
neat residence and green lawns of the
miners families. Shade trees, in pro-
fuse abundance, line the public thorough
fares, while the gardens yield abundance
of fruit and vegetables. In the evening
the sidewalks become a miniature Kearny
street during business hours, while the
subsequent night time is still enough to
satisfy the most fastidious. Neither
dance house nor dive is known. II a
gambling den is in operation, it is kept
away from the public gaze. The streets
are deserted long before midnight, and
seldom any sound greets the ear a v the
heavy, ~champing 'chow-ow" of the
neighboring quartz mills, in their cease

DIR DE BAUssET Of Chicago announ-
oes that he has 80 far perfected his air
ship that he 10 prepared 10 carry q par
~ of two hundred persons to the north

over Europe and Asia to impart con.
hdsnce to the minds of the passengers.

pound exhausting propellers which
displace about 100000 cubic feet of air

seventy miles an hour. DR.. Bausset's
scheme is pronounced perfectly prae-
ticabls by Mr.. Colbert, the astrono.
msr, Of the Chicago Tribune, and
othe scientists who have Investigated
the matter. Notwithstanding first
class scientific endorsement, DR.. Bsu-
sect, has u yet been unable to induce
the Chicagoans TO invest money 10
this air ship, although he offers the
magnificent inducement of q ride to
the north pole In the car free of charge
to anyone contributing 81 1000 TO the
enterprise. This may be q bad time
to apply to Chicsgosns for money
since 90 many Of them have been
skinned 10 the wheat pit recently. but
they can hardly afford to run this risk
OF losing the distinction of having
started on It's voyage, the fitst really
successful expedition to the north
pole. Il might be Q good idea, aud
one In the interest Of the public health
Of Chicago and Cook county to put all
the boodlers recently spotted and un-
der arrest. on board the air ship and
let DR.. Bsusset leave them at the
north pole, provided the whole party
hes not previously gone down TO death

All Roads Lead 10 the Novel.

In the literature of to-day, all roads
seem TO lead TO the novel. The historian
and biographer, the scientist and the es-
sayist, are all likely TO turn 70 fiction at
some time On other, either for mental re-
Taxation or for the opportunity Of adj
dressing q larger circle Of readers than
mere research IA hope to attract. Does
the eminent mathematician find his work
grow monotonous, forthwith he sets his
pen to the composition Of romances Of
thwarted love. Does the scholar erudite
in classical lore and the myths of savage
races become weary Of his labors, he
s~traightway invents tales OF ingenious
yillainy and his mind is refreshed. VIII

PRISE TO BE REVIVED.
A New York World special says that j. NJ Dig

the cabinet with view to renew the charter held
by himself and other United states capitalists to
build railway IRON Calgary, Northwestern Ter

way from quebec to the most eaSterly part OF
